Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~19k organic keywords and drive ~21k monthly organic visits (traffic value ~$134k), but visibility is highly concentrated: the homepage generates ~16k visits (~75%).
- Organic demand is mostly brand-led—top keyword “duda” drives ~37% of tracked traffic (also “duda website,” “duda login,” and “duda down”), indicating strong navigational intent but limited non-brand capture.
- Authority is solid but not dominant: Authority Score 42 with ~198k backlinks from ~14k referring domains, suggesting you have enough link equity to support broader topic expansion.
Growth Opportunity
- You trail the key competitor in this dataset: webflow.com drives ~321k monthly organic visits vs your ~21k (about 15x), signaling meaningful headroom if you expand non-brand rankings.
- High-volume non-brand terms (“website builder,” “free website builder,” “website template(s)”) appear in your keyword set but contribute little traffic—suggesting ranking position/content depth gaps you can close with dedicated landing pages and comparison pages.
- Your content footprint is large (templates, white-label, webinars, product updates, docs), but most pages are under-leveraged; scaling internal linking and building systematic “vertical + use-case” clusters (e.g., /website-builder/ industry pages, /compare/ pages, and SEO guides) can diversify traffic beyond the homepage.
Assessment
You have a credible authority base and broad indexation, but your organic performance is still heavily brand-and-homepage dependent. The gap to the leading competitor suggests substantial upside if you invest in more non-brand, bottom-funnel content and strengthen distribution through internal links. AirOps can help you execute this systematically at scale and turn your existing site sections into a repeatable growth engine.

A scalable directory layer that captures high-intent local and service-specific searches for professional web design help. By programmatically combining geography, specific Duda services, and industry verticals, Duda can route non-branded 'hire' demand directly into its partner ecosystem.
Example Keywords
- hire duda expert in San Diego
- duda ecommerce specialist for fitness studios
- duda api developer for hire
- duda certified web designer in London
Rationale
Duda's organic traffic is currently heavily concentrated on the homepage (74.6%). Creating thousands of localized and service-specific landing pages allows the brand to capture long-tail commercial intent that is currently being missed by the broader 'website builder' head terms.
Topical Authority
As the platform owner with an existing certification program and expert directory, Duda is the ultimate authority on who is qualified to build on its technology.
Internal Data Sources
Use the existing Experts directory metadata (location, services, tiers), Duda University certification records, and vertical-specific success stories to generate unique, trust-building content.
Estimated Number of Pages
10,000+ (Covering major global metros, core services, and top industry verticals)
High-intent landing pages designed to capture users and agencies looking to switch from restrictive or underperforming CMS platforms. These pages provide platform-specific checklists and SEO preservation guides to reduce the friction of switching to Duda.
Example Keywords
- migrate from squarespace to duda
- switch from weebly to duda
- move site from joomla to duda
- rebuild elementor site on duda
Rationale
Users searching for migration guides are at the bottom of the funnel and actively looking for a new solution. Duda's professional-grade features make it a natural upgrade for users outgrowing entry-level builders.
Topical Authority
Duda already ranks for 'duda website migration' and has extensive documentation on SEO preservation and site performance, establishing it as a safe destination for complex migrations.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage support documentation on site importers, SEO redirect settings, and developer API guides for bulk content migration to provide actionable, technical value.
Estimated Number of Pages
600+ (Targeting 60+ source platforms across various migration scenarios)
Comparison pages that target agency owners and SaaS product managers looking for alternatives to mainstream builders. These pages focus on Duda's unique 'pro' features like white-labeling, client billing, and multi-site management that generic competitors lack.
Example Keywords
- best alternative to webflow for agencies
- wix alternative for managing multiple client sites
- white-label squarespace alternative
- squarespace alternative with client billing
Rationale
While Duda has some comparison pages, there is a massive opportunity to scale these by targeting specific 'jobs-to-be-done' (like client management) rather than just head-to-head brand comparisons.
Topical Authority
Duda's explicit positioning as a 'platform built for pros' gives it the credibility to critique mainstream builders from the perspective of agency efficiency and scalability.
Internal Data Sources
Use feature comparison matrices, webinar transcripts from agency owners, and product update logs to highlight specific functional advantages over competitors.
Estimated Number of Pages
800+ (Covering hundreds of tools across agency-specific personas and requirements)
A massive resource library of operational templates (proposals, SOWs, checklists) that attracts agency owners during their daily workflow. This play positions Duda as a partner in agency growth, not just a software provider.
Example Keywords
- web design proposal template
- website maintenance agreement template
- client onboarding checklist for web design
- website scope of work template
Rationale
Agencies are Duda's primary ICP. By providing the 'boring' but essential operational documents they need to run their business, Duda captures top-of-funnel interest from the exact people who make platform decisions.
Topical Authority
Through Duda University and DudaCon, the brand has already established itself as a thought leader in agency scaling and productization.
Internal Data Sources
Mine Duda University course content, DudaCon session transcripts, and internal agency playbooks to offer high-value, professional-grade templates.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering various document types across different jurisdictions and industries)
Programmatic B2B solution pages targeting SaaS companies that want to offer website building as a native feature within their own software. This targets high-value enterprise leads looking for 'site-building-as-a-service' via API.
Example Keywords
- embedded website builder for CRM
- in-app website builder for property management
- website builder SDK for SaaS
- white-label website provisioning for vertical SaaS
Rationale
This is Duda's most significant competitive moat. While generic builders target individuals, Duda can win the 'embedded' market by creating pages for every vertical SaaS category (e.g., HVAC software, Salon management).
Topical Authority
Duda's extensive API documentation and existing partnerships with major hosts and SaaS platforms provide the technical proof needed to rank for these queries.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize developer API references, partner case studies, and 'SaaS solutions' webinar content to generate technically accurate implementation guides.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Targeting hundreds of SaaS verticals across multiple buyer roles and use cases)
Improvements Summary
Rework Duda’s core commercial “website builder” pages into a connected hub-and-spoke cluster centered on an “Agency Website Builder” hub, with the White Label and Reviews pages as top priorities. Expand on-page content to match high-intent SERP expectations (definitions, workflows, pricing/packaging, pros/cons, alternatives) and add consistent internal links across White Label, SEO, Templates, Reviews, and Compare pages.
Improvements Details
Prioritize /website-builder/white-label for non-branded terms like "white label website", "white label websites", and "white label website creator" by adding a decision-page structure (definition, how it works, reseller vs affiliate table, agency packaging ideas), proof blocks, FAQs, and FAQ schema. Build or upgrade a dedicated /website-builder/agencies (or expand /website-builder/web-design-agency) to target "website builder for agencies", "agency website builder", and "managed web design", then add contextual homepage links pointing to it. Expand /website-builder/reviews to match review intent (ratings from G2/Capterra/Trustpilot, pros/cons, who it’s for, pricing overview, alternatives) and add AggregateRating/Review schema; deepen /seo, /templates, and /compare/* pages with agency workflow sections, comparison tables (white label, permissions, multi-client management, performance, SEO controls), and cross-linking modules across the cluster.
Improvements Rationale
Several “money pages” sit in striking distance (positions ~11–20) and need tighter intent alignment plus broader topic coverage to move onto page 1, especially for high-demand queries around white labeling and agency site building. The homepage is currently absorbing non-branded agency queries, which dilutes relevance; a dedicated agency hub consolidates signals and becomes the internal-link center for the cluster. Reviews-related queries show low traffic share versus demand, suggesting SERP mismatch that can be corrected with third-party proof, structured review content, and review schema to improve click-through and trust.
